Give CTM a call and ask them about Cryogenic freezing of your axles.  It is supposed to make the axle stronger by aligning the molecules.

Ha that's great everyone should roach atleast one set of axles! I was lucky enought to do it 25 yrds into the Rubicon trail this time last year!! And lucky for me I twisted off both sides! Nothing like laying in Rubicon dirt changing axles in high 80° weather!! Consequently I looked for axles of higher strength as well. Not much luck.. the CTM idea sounds pretty neat but let's be realistic here, and realize that the wether you cryogenically freeze it or not....It's still just a 26 spline axle. I'm all for it if it helps but I think after you buy a bunch of axles have CTM do their thing you could probably have a local machine shop turn you up a set of chromoly shafts... Just some food for thought.. Good ideas though..

I have been driving with a spool on the street for over a year in one of my samurai's i just over inflate the tires in the rear to 40 lbs. (should be 20 lbs) and learn to shift the wheight of the rig and give it lots of gas around corners trying to lift the inside tire off the ground as much as possible and getting it to spin. i think that you will do more damage trying to baby it by going slow with no ice or snow on the ground. the four door that you drive is prob. a thousand pounds or more heavier than mine(2300 lbs. samurai) and i can see where you would have a problem with the axels twisting on the road more than off! i can even tell the difference when my Dog is in the back seat!
